    Well yeah, read his books. That man probably introduced me to the concept of homosexuality and definitely helped me understand gender nonconformity at the age of like 12 which is honestly very impressive because I was a shithead.

      Well this sounds encouraging enough for me to give these books a try. Which book would you suggest I start with?

        Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is book one. It’s the logical place to start. You probably don’t need to read all the other books in order, except for The Last Olympian read that one last. Oh look! There’s a new one!

        It’s been about a decade since I read these books. I might need a refresher.

        Start with the lightning thief as someone else suggested but fair warning it is still a YA novel. The author is great but you’re still gonna find it a little more predictable than you may have as a kid
